“…Sensitive skin is easily irritated by several triggers, such as physical (wind, cold, heat and ultraviolet radiation), chemical (cosmetics and soap), psychological (stress) or hormonal (menstrual cycle) factors. 3 A variety of tests have been adopted to evaluate individuals with sensitive skin. These tests have been divided into methods that identify people with subjective neurosensory reactions, those that measure objective visible signs, and those that detect biophysical and structural parameters of the skin.…”

Background Sensitive skin is a common cutaneous condition that affects many people. The exact prevalence of sensitive skin remains unknown. Objectives We aim to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literatures to determine the global self-declared prevalence of sensitive skin. Methods A systematic review of studies reporting the prevalence of sensitive skin was conducted searching electronic database of PubMed. Data were extracted and proportion meta-analyses were carried out to obtain the pooled prevalence. Results A total of 26 studies were included representing general population in 18 countries with 51 783 individuals. The pooled proportion of individuals with self-reported sensitive skin to some degrees was 71% [95% confidence interval (CI) 62%-81%] in the general population and 40% (95% CI 32%-47%) among individuals having very or moderately sensitive skin. Sensitive skin affected both women (45%, 95% CI 36%-55%) and men (33%, 95% CI 24%-42%), and women tended to be a risk factor with the development of sensitive skin compared to men (Risk Ratio=1.741, 95% CI 1.38-2.20). The corresponding estimates for prevalence were 38% (95% CI 25%-51%) among America, 35% (95% CI 32%-37%) among South America, 44% (95% CI 39%-50%) among Europe, and 31% (95% CI 16%-45%) among Asia, respectively. The pooled proportion of self-diagnosed facial sensitive skin to some degree was 64% (95% CI 49%-76%). For subjects responded as having very or moderately facial sensitive skin, the pooled proportion was 34% (95% CI 21%-46%). Conclusion Our meta-analysis based on published data showed that the global prevalence of self-declared sensitive skin to some degrees was 71% in the adult population, and 40% among individuals having very or moderately sensitive skin. However, the prevalence of sensitive skin was dependent on the diagnostic method and the prevalence might be overestimated in the questionnaire-based epidemiological studies.

“…Sensitive skin is understood by some authors as the cutaneous manifestation with more exuberant symptomatology than signs, which includes the burning or stinging sensation on the face after application of a single or a group of facial products, without presence of frankly established erythema, thus differing from clinical pictures of contact dermatitis irritation. 354 …”

Brazil is a country of continental dimensions with a large heterogeneity of climates and massive mixing of the population. Almost the entire national territory is located between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, and the Earth axial tilt to the south certainly makes Brazil one of the countries of the world with greater extent of land in proximity to the sun. The Brazilian coastline, where most of its population lives, is more than 8,500 km long. Due to geographic characteristics and cultural trends, Brazilians are among the peoples with the highest annual exposure to the sun. Epidemiological data show a continuing increase in the incidence of non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers. Photoprotection can be understood as a set of measures aimed at reducing sun exposure and at preventing the development of acute and chronic actinic damage. Due to the peculiarities of Brazilian territory and culture, it would not be advisable to replicate the concepts of photoprotection from other developed countries, places with completely different climates and populations. Thus the Brazilian Society of Dermatology has developed the Brazilian Consensus on Photoprotection, the first official document on photoprotection developed in Brazil for Brazilians, with recommendations on matters involving photoprotection.

“…In addition, natural moisturizing factors, lipid complexes, and ceramides all act to strengthen the skin’s barrier function. Preventing contact with known irritants, allergens, solvents, surfactants, and sensitizing preservatives 40 is also important in allowing the skin to recover. The use of topically applied chamomile has been reported as a beneficial antiinflammatory ingredient to soothe sensitive skin.…”
